A Royal Affair (open to one girl)

[WinterFrost]

Princess Angela sat in front of the mirror, stroking the brush idly through her long, fiery red hair as did so. With an audible sigh, she rose up and made her way out of her room, and down the winding halls of the castle.

She was dresses as any Princess was expected, in a long, elegant and flowing crimson and green dress made out of the finest silks and fabrics available to the kingdom. She made her way down to the main hall, escorted by various maidens and other nobles to await the arrival of their...guest.

A princess from a neighboring kingdom had been offered to her brother, Prince Ronulf for marriage. Such a tie of bloodlines between their two respective nations was important, not only for the kingdoms in question, but for both that would be engaging in it.

However, unfortunately Ronulf had been called away on business in a near by province. And it was up to Angela to baby sit this girl until he returned. But she had hoped it would not be as dull as it would seem. She had heard tales of the princess's beauty far and wide, and looked forward to meeting her...for more than one reason.

Though Angela was extremely beautiful herself, featuring an hour glass figure and jade green eyes, she had proved a difficult catch. All of her suitors found her attitude to be a major turn off. And while Angela had no hatred for the men them selves, it was the fact she didn't like men that propelled her away from them.

She had engaged in several trysts with her handmaidens recently, finding her self more attracted to the female form than she ever could be to a mans. For obvious reasons, she had kept this a secret. But she hoped that one day, she would have the strength to come out and announce her self...

But until that time, she hoped she could have some fun with this Princess...

((OOC: Basically, this is a lesbian thread set in medieval times! Woo, what fun! =D

I'm looking for someone to play the other princess. You can make her name, appearance and personality and whatever else you like.))

The morning of the day Princess Trinity was expected to see her soon to be husband, she was told he would not be there. She was told he would be away on business, and yet they couldn't change the date of he departure. Her father had a single carriage left that wasn't away with mail, or already reserved for other things, so Trinity was expected to arrive at Prince Ronulf's palace and wait for him. She was not appointed a governess beforehand and was decided to be put in Princess Angela's charge. Trinity had heard of this girl and her unlucky mismatches with various suitors. This intrigued Trinity, as she decided she would find the reasons behind this. In her final hour before departure, she was dressed in one of her most elegant gowns of violet and black silk. Her thick dark hair was pulled back and decorated into a curly bun. Her crystal blue eyes were painted with a purple pigment that matched her gown. At her final moments before departure, she was swept into a hug from her mother who wished her luck. Trinity didn't get the chance to bid farewell to her father, and was put in the carriage and whisked away.

Princess Sophia, 18
5'2" with black hair, green eyes and a petite frame - 32B.

The role of a Princess in a Kingdom was envied by all females, attracted by the wealth and glamour of such a prestigious title. Sophia would have agreed with them, the first years of her life as a Princess were a complete and utter joy. She had anything she wanted, whether it be jewels, clothes or a rare bird that could be stuffed and placed in the corner. But she couldn't do whatever she wanted. As a child, Sophia had no friends her age, with servants the only real company. She was often forced to attend Ball's and other festivities instead of playing and having fun like normal children did. It only got worse and as soon as it was legally possible, she was engaged to wed.

Now Sophia sat in the royal cart as she was steadily driven to the castle of Prince Ronulf. This was it, no more sneaking out to get drunk with the commoners. No more betting, fighting and seducing handmaidens. She was to be a wife and would have to get used to it. Her father had already gotten a headstart, dressing her in the dreariest (and tightest) of grey dresses. Or woman-wear as he called it. The bastard, as Sophia called him, sat opposite her in the cart.

"We're nearly here." He announced, sitting up straight and applying the fakest of smiles. "Now cheer up, we need to make a good impression. Just because we're only meeting Princess Angela, doesn't mean we aren't representing the whole of our people."

Another Princess, nobody had told Sophia about that. Suddenly she became quite excited at the prospect of visiting someone of equal stature. As they reached the Castle gates, she found herself wondering whether Angela would be young. Or attractive. With her future husband nowhere in sight, things could get interesting.

OOC: Whoops, guess I should have posted here instead of sending that PM. Trinity beat me too it.

 

[WinterFrost]

"Mi'lady, Princess Trinity has arrived." A servant announced excitedly. Angela took a deep breath as she prepared her self for this encounter. Putting on the most polite and lady-like front she could stand, she, escorted by her handmaidens and knights left the main hall to greet the arriving carriage.

Outside, two hundred knights on horses stood, with bright banners flying high in the wind. The intent was to both impress Princess Trinity and assure her that she would be safe while in these lands. Angela stood outside the carriage as the foreign Princess stepped out. She approached her and curtsied.

"Princess Trinity. It is my distinct honor to meet with you."

 

[TrinityK]

"As it is my honor to meet you as well." sher said with a bow of her head and curtsie. Trinity walked to Princess Angela and hugged her slightly before continuing to walk into the castle. Once inside, the sweet aroma of dark spices welcomed her. "A fine castle for fine rulers." she said in her politest manor ever. She meant the compliment, but maybe she overdid it. She most certainly didn't want to be sent home, so she had to turn every cheek brig side up. Turning around, she asked if Angela would escort her to the living quarters.

 

[WinterFrost]

"Of course." Angela lead Trinity to her quarters, an immaculate suite fit for...well, a Princess. A large bed with satin silk sheets, leather furniture, a hardwood desk and her own fire place were only some of the luxuries that made up the room. There was also a wine cabinet, filled with the kingdoms finest.

"Here you are. I would imagine you are quite tired from your journey. Please, freshen up before dinner." Angela nodded politely, before leaving Trinity to herself in her suite.

 

[WinterFrost]

((OOC: Bump for Trinity.))

 

[TrinityK]

Trinity sauntered around the room, touching various items with different textures. A knock came at the door, and once she answerd, two servants brought in her trunks. She curtsied in gratitude and dismissed them.

Trin opened the smaller of the two and retrieved a small box containing body pigments and perfumes. She re applied the purple pigment to her cheeks and puffed a small amount of purfume to her breasts.

Trinity looked in the mirror, satisfied with herself. She was somewhat narccisistic when it came to her wishing a man could look as beautiful as herself.

After gazing at herself for a moment, she rose and left her chamber. She waited by her door to be called to dinner.

 

[WinterFrost]

It didn't take long at all before she was. Two servants came and politely announced that diner was ready, and they escorted Trinity down to the dining hall.

"Princess Angela has requested that you two dine in private tonight, if that would be alright with you, your highness." One of them announced as he pulled open the door to the dining hall, revealing a table sat with all manner of delicious meats, cheeses, fish, fruits and vegetables along with a bottle of red wine in the middle.

"Ah, Trinity. I must say you look quite...beautiful tonight." Angela remarked, stepping forward and bringing her hand up to her lips, kissing it.

 

[TrinityK]

The meal was prepared beautifully. When she was greeted and complimented by her peer, she replied, "As are you." and pecked her cheek lightly. She moved closer to the table as a serving woman pulled a chair out for her. Trinity gently laid a napkin in her lap and pointed to the foods she desired. Another servant placed the meal on her plate. "What viniard is the wine from" Trinity asked as she was pourn a goblet full.

 

[WinterFrost]

Angela shrugged. "I'm not really sure. My father assures me all of our families wine comes from only the finest vineyard, though. Someplace by the ocean, I believe." Angela poured her self a goblet full and took a sip, also plating her self up a roasted turkey leg and some boiled potatoes.

Though she would normally just grab the turkey leg with her hand and dig in, she had to be polite around this other princess. And so, she cut her self a piece with a knife and gingerly ate it with a fork. "So, Princess Trinity, please, tell me about your self. You are marrying my brother, after all."

 

[TrinityK]

"Well, I am twenty years of age, I enjoy getting dresses, my favorite scent is lavender, and I wish to be a fulfilling wife." she said before taking a bite of salad. Trinity did not mention the fact that she didn't want to marry at all and would just as soon live a maiden's life alone. "What about yourself? I hear you have the worst of luck when it comes to courting." she said before taking a sip of wine.

 

[WinterFrost]

"Heard that as well, have you? Well, it's very true. Let's just say I find men..well, boring." She winked playfully at the other Princess, hoping she wouldn't read too much into the comment before she grabbed a fresh apple and took a bite of it, some of the juice running down her chin. "Enjoying the food, Princess?"

 

[TrinityK]

"Call me Trinity." the princess said with a warm smile. She took a small bite of salmon and nodded. "Yes, the meal iis delicious."

Trinity ate the rest of her meal in silence a she continually looked up at Angela when she didn't notice. Something was drawing Trinity to t is princess in a way she couldn't describe.

 

[WinterFrost]

"I'm glad." Angela replied with a warm smile of her own, finishing own meal quickly and watching Trinity eat her own. When she finished, she rose and walked over to Trinity, still smiling. "Would you like desert? Or a tour of the castle, or something else? Your wish is my command."

 

[TrinityK]

"I usually take dessert before I retire to my chambers, so a tour shall suit me just fine." Trinity said, rising. "Is the Wedding Chamber prepared yet?" She asked before finishing her wine. She had always dreamed of her prince taking her in the wedding chamber. "If it is, save it for last." she said girlishly.

 

[WinterFrost]

"It is, actually." Angela replied with a nod. She lead Trinity first out to the gardens, which looked brilliant in the sunset, covered in flowers of all colors, some luminous in the growing dark. A small stream ran through the garden, adding a calming trickling noise to any visitor.

"This is my personal favorite." Angela remarked, admiring the beauty of the gardens. Despite the fact she had lived here all her life, their beauty never ceased to amaze her. "When I was younger, I used to spend all day just sitting her, admiring it. It may sound silly, but I really loved it."

 

[TrinityK]

"It has a very romantic feel to it." Trinity remarkedletting the floral scent embrace her. "We don't have gardens at my castle. The soil isn't suited for it." she said kind of sadly. "When I marry Ronulf, I will insist on a garden as grand as this." she said with a bubbly smile.

 

[WinterFrost]

Angela frowned when she heard Trinity's lament that the soil around her home lacked soil suitable to grow such a garden. She couldn't imagine what it was like, growing up in the absence of such beauty. She picked a purple flower, and walked gingerly up to Trinity.

"I am quite sorry to hear that. And until you get that garden when you marry brother, do take this." Angela stated, taking the purple flower and placing it gently in Trinity's hair.

 

[TrinityK]

Trinity smiled girlishly. The flower matched her dress perfect. "Thankyou Angela." she said softly, gently touching the flower with her long slender fingers. It was a generous token of the beginnings of a friendship. "What is our next destination in this fine tour of yours?" she asked, linking her arm with Angela's.

 

[WinterFrost]

Angela was slightly surprised, but pleased when Trinity linked her arm with her own. She smiled at her, thinking that it might not be as hard to seduce her as she had originally thought it would be. "Hm, I don't really know. This the only place I really wanted to show you, really. We could go to the main hall, or the armory, or the stables. Your choice, my dear."

 

[TrinityK]

Trinity smiled. "I would love to see the stables." she said softly. "We have fifty horses back home, even one of them is mine. However, my father says it's too dangerous for a princess to ride." she exained, somewhat sadly. "Do you have one?" she asked as they walked towards the stables.

 

[WinterFrost]

"Yes, and I've known how to ride since before I could walk. It is a custom for maidens in our nation, you see." Angela explained as she walked with Trinity to the stables, which were near the gardens, so it was all the more convenient for her. She opened the stable doors to reveal rows upon rows of horses, most were checkered or mixed colors, while a few were pure white, almost silver and only one or two were pitch black. "Here we are...impressive, isn't it? Most of these horses belong to our knights, but a few are my own."
